[Wine] WAR Beta Installer issues

[Daniel Burke]

I just gave it a go.

get winetricks and install gecko + directx9
run setup and patch or (like me) copy off your windows partition (I
was in closed beta playing on windows) and run it.

It runs but cannot find any servers, could be because they are all
down getting ready for preview weekend though.  I will try in windows
shortly to check if the behaviour is the same
